We women are so particular about the things we need in order to function properly.
We’re constantly whining about the dumbest things, like who gets to choose where we’re eating tonight, and whether or not the government decides what we can and can’t do with our own bodies.
We’re just soooo whiny .
Working a big girl job is hard sometimes! *Sigh*
That’s what happens when you venture out of the kitchen, right?
How are we supposed to make our own decisions? How are we supposed to think logically? What happens when we inevitably have to choose between being a mom and a business mogul because those two things are mutually exclusive???
There are a lot of studies out there trying to figure out how to close the gender gap.
What? You thought I meant the wage gap ? Oh don’t be silly, companies aren’t trying to close that .
The gender gap meaning the inevitable disadvantages that women have in the office simply because they inhabit female bodies. We need all the help we can get, obviously.
According to a recent study, women react differently to the cold than men.
The journal PLOS One released a report stating that “women perform better on math and verbal tasks in warmer environments, while men do better when it’s colder.”
Researchers tested 550 college students with various cognitive tasks in varying temperatures.
According to the study, women performed better on math and verbal tasks as the temperature got warmer, while men’s skills declined as the temperature rose.
The study’s lead author says that these results matter most in workplaces.
Agne Kajackaite stated that temperature preferences within offices and other workplace spaces tend to vary by more than a single degree, meaning that not everyone is working in their optimal temperature.
“As the temperature increases, women become better and better and better, and at some point there’s no gender gap.”
Excuse me?
You’re telling me that…women work better…when they aren’t freezing?
I don’t even know how to process this. Hold on, let me grab a sweater.
“Temperature could affect not just the comfort, but the everyday performance of people.”
“If you feel more comfortable in the office with your five sweaters,” Kajackaite continued, “It might also affect your performance.”
